In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with Emily Gallagher, founder of Motherbrand Coaching, to talk honestly about one of life’s biggest pivots - returning to work after maternity leave. Together, we explore identity, comparison, guilt and the power of reframing your story as a mother and professional.

Unstoppable Women is part of my Unstoppable by Design movement - a series that shines a light on stories of personal change and the characteristics that help women keep moving forward, no matter what life throws at them. Each episode explores what makes a woman “unstoppable”: her courage, clarity, energy and ability to pivot through uncertainty with purpose.

I created the series to connect, inspire and normalise the messy, magnificent middle of personal transformation - the point between where we’ve been and where we’re headed. Whether you’re navigating a career change, rebuilding confidence, or finding your next step after a major life shift, these conversations are for you.

This episode marks a new chapter in Unstoppable Women - expanding to feature stories of courage and change from women around the world.
